- Laser spectroscopy measurements reveal size and shape of the nucleus of nobelium
Sizes and shapes of nuclei with more than 100 protons were so far experimentally inaccessible. Laser spectroscopy is an established technique in measuring fundamental properties of exotic atoms and... - New material that changes colour under a flow of human breath
Our clothes, food and everyday devices get their colour from dye or pigments that absorb light. These colours fade over time, as laundry detergent ads never fail to remind us. But a different, more...
- How natural gas is converted into methanol at room temperature
Twenty years after the technique was developed, scientists at KU Leuven and Stanford University have unravelled the mechanism behind the direct conversion process of natural gas into methanol at ro... - Electronic nose for the detection of pesticides and nerve gas
An international team of researchers led by Ivo Stassen and Rob Ameloot from KU Leuven have made detecting pesticides and nerve gas in very low concentrations possible. The best-known electronic... - Next-generation fluorescent and LED lighting thanks to new phosphor?
Researchers from KU Leuven (Belgium), the University of Strasbourg, and CNRS have discovered a new phosphor that could make next-generation fluorescent and LED lighting even cheaper and more effici...
- Bio-marker set forms the basis for new blood test to detect colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer globally and the second most common cause of cancer deaths. The chance of a cure is high if the cancer is detected early enough, but early ... - Newly developed brewer's yeast helps optimizing cocoa fermentation process
The Barry Callebaut Group, VIB (Flanders Institute for Biotechnology) and KU Leuven (University of Leuven), with the support of IWT (Agency for Innovation by Science and Technology-Flanders), manag... - Recycling of rare-earth elements from fluorescent and energy saving lamps
KU Leuven Chemists have developed an innovative process, based on ionic liquid technology, for the recycling of the metals europium and yttrium from collected fluorescent and energy saving lamps. T... - Untangling DNA with a droplet of water, a pipet and a polymer
There are two ways to decode DNA: DNA sequencing and DNA mapping. In DNA sequencing, short strings of DNA are studied to determine the exact order of nucleotides - the bases A, C, G and T - within ...
- Inner workings of a cellular nanomotor revealed
Our cells produce thousands of proteins, but more than one-third of these proteins can fulfill their function only after migrating to the outside of the cell. While it is known that protein migrati...
- Cut-and-paste zeolites: new, faster method for developing custom microporous materials
Zeolites are minerals with a microporous structure. This makes them attractive as catalysts in industrial applications. Unfortunately, creating synthetic zeolites is very complex. Researchers at KU...
